Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 5: Brave Little Glutinous Rice
After eating, Liu Chunhua chatted with Liu Qingsong for a while before going home, but she did not take Xiao Nuomi with her in the end.

As for the reason, it was not because her mother's family had wild rabbit meat to eat today, but because she didn't want little Nuomi to cry with her.

Of course, the most important thing is that she has a very good relationship with her younger brother and sister-in-law, and there is a lot of farm work to do in the yellow croaker production team where she is located, so keeping this little glutinous rice is actually a good choice.

After all, no one in the family is willing to take care of Xiao Nuomi except her and her husband. Her parents-in-law are also unwilling to take care of her and they dislike Xiao Nuomi.

It’s not that little Nuomi is too naughty.

Rather, my parents-in-law have a serious tendency to favor boys over girls, so serious that even the surrounding villagers know about it.

As a reborn person, Liu Qingsong naturally knows the inside story and the current situation of Liu Chunhua's family.

So he fully supports keeping Xiao Nuomi and is willing to take care of her.

Seeing that Xiao Nuomi and his little sister, who had eaten and drunk their fill, were skipping and jumping hand in hand to play in the threshing ground, Liu Qingsong smiled and cleaned up the stove.

After it's healed.

I was just about to go check out the Wanjie garbage dump in the backyard.

The youngest sister appeared running with her short legs: "Third brother, Fatty asked me to go pick up dog poop to earn work points, do you think I should go?"

Fatty.

Man as his name suggests.

He is short, fat and stocky.

He is the child of our neighbor Wang Yaoqing.

She is about the same age as the youngest sister, both around five years old.

As for earning work points by picking up dog shit, this was not surprising in 1977 and 1980, because fertilizers were expensive and most production teams could not afford them.

Therefore, picking up dog poop and other animal feces to make fertilizer has become a normal thing in today's era.

But Liu Qingsong frowned when he heard this: "How many work points can you earn by picking up dog poop? It seems that picking up dog poop for a whole day in our production team only earns three points, right?"

What can you do with so few work points?
If converted into cash, I guess you wouldn’t even be able to buy a meat bun.

Besides, my little sister is so young. What if something unexpected happens while she is picking up dog poop?
So, he meant that he would never go, especially since there was no shortage of food at home now, and he was no longer the same person he used to be.

But the youngest sister didn't know what Liu Qingsong was thinking! She corrected him: "Third brother, the work points for a bamboo basket of dog shit are not three points, but two points."

"It's only two cents. Why are you picking up dog shit? Just stay at home and take care of Xiao Nuomi." After saying that, Liu Qingsong glanced at the sky and said, "Or you can go fishing with me in the river later, and then we can have boiled fish for lunch."

"Really?" The youngest sister bit her index finger.

She hasn't had boiled fish for a long time.

The last time was during the Chinese New Year!

"Of course it's true." Liu Qingsong replied confidently.

He is a reborn person, and he has the bottled bait found in the garbage dump of all worlds, so isn't it easy for him to eat a fish?

"Oh...that's great!" The youngest sister cheered and ran to find Xiao Nuomi.

After finding it, she happily told the good news that Liu Qingsong was going to take her fishing in front of Pangdun and Xiao Nuomi.

This made Fatty very envious, but at the same time he was a little skeptical: "Hongxia, don't be too happy too soon. The fish in the river are not that easy to catch."

"Do you have a fishing rod?"

"Does your brother have hook and line?"

"This..." The youngest sister was stunned. She couldn't argue with Fatty, so she quickly took Xiao Nuomi to find Liu Qingsong.

At this time, Liu Qingsong was rummaging in the corner of the kitchen doorway looking for a suitable southern bamboo to make a fishing rod. Seeing two southern bamboos of good length and toughness, he pulled them out immediately and walked to the backyard with them.

The youngest sister and little Nuomi saw this.

Lian followed behind with his short legs.

When they saw Liu Qingsong rummaging through the old fishing tackle box in the backyard and finding the fishing line and hooks, they were so happy.

But the youngest sister was also a little confused: "Third brother, where did you get this box? Why didn't I see it before?"

"Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean we don't have it!" Liu Qingsong said perfunctorily with a smile, then concentrated on tying the fishing line.

After tying.

He held a southern bamboo fishing rod in one hand and a tattered fishing tackle box in the other and walked towards Diaozi River, 500 meters away from his home.

"Third brother, wait for us!" The youngest sister followed behind holding little Nuomi's hand.

Diaozi River is one of the two major rivers in Huajiao Production Brigade. Because the river is rich in diozui fish, it got the name Diaozi River.

The Diaozi River runs across five production brigades. It is much larger than the other Agate River, and its water is much more turbulent.

Like the Huaishu team where Liu Qingsong is, no! Most of the water for irrigation of seedlings in the eight teams of the entire Huajiao Production Brigade comes from Diaozi River.

In other words, Diaozi River nurtures most of the villagers in Huajiao Production Brigade and is the mother river in the hearts of the villagers.

Generally speaking, outsiders are prohibited from fishing by the river, and are also prohibited from destroying the ecological environment of Diaozi River, but the villagers of Huajiao Production Brigade and their relatives and friends are exceptions.

Liu Qingsong was born and raised in Huajiao Production Brigade, so he had no taboos when fishing. Before he and Xiao Nuomi and Xiaomei reached the Diaozi River, they saw from afar several children fishing for fish and shrimp in the southeast shallows.

As for fishing, there is not a single one.

It’s not that the villagers of Huajiao Production Brigade don’t know how to fish.

But the water in Diaozi River is fast-flowing, and it is impossible to catch fish without some skills.

In addition, fishing rods are expensive and most villagers are busy doing farm work, so it is normal that no one goes fishing.

But this situation is very beneficial to Liu Qingsong.

After checking the situation along the Diaozi River, he found a place with a wide view and sat down.

Who would have thought that just as he put the bait he brought from the Wanjie garbage dump on the fishhook, he heard a sarcastic voice behind him: "Hey! I was wondering who has the time to fish? It turns out to be the son of the prisoner, Liu Qingsong!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingsong turned around and looked over with a frown.

Seeing that the person who spoke was the gangster "Liu Delei" in the production team, who also came to the river to fish limping with a fishing rod, his face suddenly darkened.

Liu Delei should be around 35 or 36 years old this year, but his wide mouth, nose, bald head and big belly make him look old, which is very inconsistent with his actual age.

If I remember correctly, Liu Delei was a bachelor until his death. It was not because his family was poor, but because he was a bully and did all kinds of bad things, so no woman was willing to marry him.

Liu Delei's right leg was broken because he was caught stealing, but his nickname was not Liu Lame, but "Laonaiji".

Laonaiji means old man.

A nickname given to him by the villagers because of his old appearance.

Liu Delei should still be living with his mother Zhang. Before Liu Qingsong's parents were arrested and sent to labor camp, Liu Lijuan once borrowed five dollars from Zhang in front of all the Liu family members to rescue them.

The reason why I only borrowed five dollars was that in the seven or eight years ago, no one was rich, so they took out as much as they could.

The more than one hundred yuan of foreign debt that Liu Lijuan borrowed was actually collected from everyone.

In the past, if something happened to other members of the Liu family, Liu Qingsong's parents would also pool money together to give them. If they had money, they would give them twenty or thirty yuan, and if they didn't, they would give them ten or five yuan. As for paying the money back, that was never mentioned.

But this time, less than a month after Liu Lijuan borrowed the money, Liu Delei came to ask for the money.

Liu Lijuan couldn't come up with the money, so Liu Delei actually brought people to move the tables, chairs, benches, sweet potatoes and rice from the house to pay off the debt.

If this matter hadn't gotten out of hand in the end.

When Liu Delei's mother Zhang found out, she scolded him.

I’m afraid that everyone in Liu Qingsong’s family is starving to death now.

It was from that time on.

Liu Qingsong's family has completely become enemies with Liu Delei.

If it weren't for the fact that Liu Delei was a member of the Liu family, Liu Qingsong's uncles and uncles would have come to the house to take Liu Delei away.

After all, Liu Qingsong's parents have been arrested and sent to labor camps.

Life is hard.

As a member of the Liu family, I would like to help.

And he's even worse than pigs and dogs.

Back to the point, when the youngest sister saw Liu Delei also coming to the river to fish, and even mocked Liu Qingsong, she was so angry that she stomped her feet and said directly: "You are the son of a labor camp prisoner, your whole family are labor camp prisoners!"

"Yes!" Little Nuomi also said angrily.

After saying that, he bent down, picked up the pebbles on the ground, and threw them at Liu Delei who was not far away.

This move directly scared Liu Delei, and even Liu Qingsong was a little dumbfounded.

Seeing that the pebble thrown by Xiao Nuomi did not hit Liu Delei, he quickly reached out and picked up Xiao Nuomi: "It was a mad dog barking just now, why are you arguing with a mad dog?"

In other words.

If you care about it, you will become a mad dog like Liu Delei.

Liu Delei was stunned for a moment and then he understood the hidden meaning of the words. He clenched his fists in anger. He also didn't expect that Liu Qingsong, who was usually cowardly and introverted, would be so eloquent.

But after weighing the pros and cons, he did not go looking for trouble with Liu Qingsong. Instead, he took the fishing rod and moved away from Xiao Nuomi, then sat down and started threading the earthworms.

The earthworms are not yet fully threaded.

The bamboo fishing rod in Liu Qingsong's hand suddenly bent.

Then the river water splashed, and a big grass carp was pulled directly out of the water, and then quickly sank to the bottom of the water.

After seeing this scene, Liu Delei's eyes widened in astonishment: "This damn Liu Qingsong, his luck is too good, isn't it? It hasn't been long since he caught a big grass carp?"
